FAST METHOD OF SUPER-RESOLUTION PROCESSING

A method is provided for speeding up a super-resolution processing by reducing the number of times for convolution operation that is the number of times for estimation calculation.A fast method of super-resolution processing for speeding up a super-resolution processing that estimates a high-resolution image from multiple low-resolution images with a displacement, which comprising: a first step for performing a registration of said multiple low-resolution images in a high-resolution image space and treating all pixels of said multiple low-resolution images after the registration as pixels sampled at unequal interval within said high-resolution image space; a second step for dividing said high-resolution image space into multiple small areas with a predefined size; and a third step for defining an estimated value at a predefined representative position within said small area as an estimated value of all pixels that exist within said small area for each small area divided in said second step.
